If a character falls in the water they are immediately chomped by the [[Fish]], taking 8% damage. The fish then attempts to drag the trapped character down to the lower [[blast line]]; however, its grab can be escaped by [[mashing]]. The number of inputs required to escape is based on the formula <code>90 + 1.7p</code> (where '''p''' is the captured fighter's percent) and is reduced by 8 for every stick input and 14.4 for every button input, causing a release when the value reaches or passes zero.

The stage has three possible layouts, randomly chosen from a set list, similarly to [[Dream Land GB]] and [[Boxing Ring]]. The first variation has neon green grass, the second has grass of a more blue-green color, while the third has orange grass. Each of the variations feature different layouts of platforms, Flippers and clouds.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the [[Ω form]] consists of a single walled platform that resembles the green grassy soil variations of the normal form. Unlike Boxing Ring and Dream Land, its look cannot be changed. The water is intangible, and sparks, fish, and flippers are absent. Characters also cannot warp around the screen.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to ''SSB4'''s Ω form; however, the water is now absent and the main platform is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form resemble the grassy platforms of the normal form.

In ''{{s|wikipedia|Balloon Fight}}'', a clone of Williams Electronics' ''Joust'', the player would fly around in a helmet with two balloons strapped on the Balloon Fighter's back. The goal was to pop the balloons of enemy birds. Once all of the balloons on a player were popped, he would fall into the water below. The birds fall in the water after all balloons are popped and once their parachute is gone. Moving off-screen sideways would cause the player to reappear on the other side. If a player flies too close to the water, a [[fish|giant fish]] emerges, grabs the player with its mouth, and submerges back into the water with the player. The fish also emerges if an enemy descends to the water with a parachute. Phases 7-11, out of 12, in ''Balloon Fight'' contain a hazard called a [[flipper]]. If a player bumps into a flipper, it starts to spin. If a player or an enemy hits the flipper while it's spinning, the person flies temporarily out of control in a certain direction. Flippers also later appeared as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' where they would cause [[knockback]] if bumped into.

*In ''Ultimate'', the following [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]] can only appear on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage: [[Chain Chomp]], [[Kapp'n]], and [[Devil]]. The [[Moon]] and [[Nikki]] cannot be summoned on this stage at all, likely due to the dark background. Additionally, the following [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon can only be summoned on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms: [[Abra]], [[Palkia]], [[Arceus]], [[Victini]], and [[Xerneas]]. [[Kyogre]], [[Giratina]], and [[Lunala]] cannot be summoned here at all.
